Vaastu viewpoint

Nitien Parmar, a Vaastu expert, points out that the southeast is the home of the fire element and the northwest is the home of the air element. Because of the interconnectedness of these two elements, fire features should only be placed in the southeast or northwest of any room, building or property. This includes kitchens, stoves, fireplaces, open flames and outdoor cooking features.
A fire feature should not be situated in the southwest or northeast quadrant of a property, building or room. A kitchen or fireplace, for example, in the southwest brings conflicts and arguments. A kitchen or fireplace in the northeast will cause whatever money you make to 'burn up' and go away. It also brings health problems, conflicts and arguments.
